Thanks for this lesson idea. I also teach sophomores and juniors and am always looking for more ways to prepare them for the MME as schools are so focused on the results. I like that the students are making their own graphs and ask to come up with conclusions about the data.One suggestion I would make is to have groups do different sets of data and have each group come up with questions that relate to their graph. One the students share their graphs and data, the other groups can answer the questions. This way all groups are not only practice analzying data, but also answering quetisons on data they are just seeing,Technical Remarks:Reading through this lesson it looks like this would all flow very smoothly with the technology. Another thing you could do in addition to this lesson is to then have students collect data using a temperature or pH probe and practice collecting data using another form of technology.

Great lesson! I really liekd that you started the lesson with questions for the students to answer. This will get them thinking about the material before you present them with the rules. I also thought the questions throughout the lesson were very good and that it was a GREAT idea to have the students pick the rule they used. The only one I thought may be a little confusing for students was 13000000. It is not very common to have a decimal without numbers after it. I understand that this will make two rules correct, but if possible you could make both of those a correct answer.Technical Remarks:The flow of the material was very good, if possible I would recommend a little more annimation in some of the slides so that students are looking at all of the material without skipping straight to the question.
